Okay, now let's hear today's question.

Hi Antonia and Joel.

My name is Annie and I am an INTJ.

Supposedly this is the rarest personality type in women.

Whether this is true or not, I do notice that I am quite different from most women I encounter.

I wanted to hear your take on this topic.

Are INTJ women as rare as they say?

How does our personality type show up differently from male INTJs?

I love your podcast and thank you so much.

Thank you Annie for the question.
